This is what you would call a political response to people trying to let the politicians know that they are wrong!
Of course most politicians do NOT want to be told that they are wrong so they rebel. Most do finally realize that they do have to abide by their constituents desires (as they did elect them) and eventually do what they must. The problem is that they continue to be flamed by their money providers so they (with no decent opinions of their own) try to do what their money providers wish. Therefore the old saying of money buys the law usually works.
We call this corrupt politics at work! They are called the Democratic Party!
Knowledge becoming generalized, of who the flamers and bagmen are, could lead to an excessive occurrence of bagmen and bundlers and NGO boardmembers and policy-maven supermen being discovered in rivers around the country.
